Re: Vale of Fairway
A chance trip to Gloucester market and his lordship returned with a 2 month old Land Rover, should come in handy on the estate. Still awaiting the wing mirrors but Mrs B at work so what is a man to do?

Re: Vale of Fairway
The land rover should actually run on fresh air Mr Tom. A good old Airfix Shaun the sheep model (complete with mad pigs!), they are slightly overscale but as my tummy is overscale it'll hopefully look ok.

Re: Best beginners book
Hi Mikael, welcome to the forum. There is a lot of information here and on the web but would also endorse the 16mm handbook that has a section on most aspects of the hobby and may help your "searches" for info. Never be afraid to ask a question, we all started somewhere and learned the har...

Re: Vale of Fairway
I know what you mean Derek, we have a Weeping Willow and unfortunately we can’t get around it’s flipping leaves dropping every day, but hopefully they won’t give us too much trouble….especially if the landlord will let us cut most of the branches off….. :thumbup: :thumbup: [/quote] 20180731_110324....

Re: The Skebawn and Castleknox Light Railway and Tramway
Good to hear from you again Peter....know what you mean about holidays....it's an unusually hot summer here, I'd be happy to get hot in this country (near a railway) but Mrs B feels the need to fly somewhere warm. To be resolved!
